First date safety
| Wed, 02-18-2004 - 8:54am |
Two months ago I got to know a guy online. We've been quite open with each other and then it turned to phone. Both his parents died last year & it seems he doesn't have much of a social life.He phones almost everyday & kept in touch even when he was abroad.I feel I can really trust him.
So tomorrow we should be meeting up i.r.l. for the first time.We live some 30mins away from each others. I said we should meet half way through, since I hate being picked up on a first date, for safety and easy escape in case the date isn't my type.But he insists that a guy should pick girl up on date and deliver her back safely. I don't want to divulge my exact address so agreed to be picked up at a square close-by. Thing is I'm too independent for this kind of thing. Otherwise, he left everything at my choice: day, time & venue (a place I know well). So I'll have to trust him and see how it goes. Will call a taxi in case I need alternative transport getting back home.
Any other safety measures I should take just in case?

Whew! I am breathing a sigh of relief - I really was a little worried about you. I am SO glad that you called it off. Better safe than sorry. There are plenty of other guys out there who will respect your safety and your boundaries, and I wish you luck in finding one. :)
